Three-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner Doug Polk invited longtime friend and fellow high stakes pro Joey Ingram over to the Polk Palace Monday for a 90-minute sit down that highlighted a number of trending topics within our industry.

Doug’s recent $3.68 million score for first place in the $111,111 buy-in High Roller for One Drop tournament is still taking a while to sink in among Team Upswing friends, but Doug is already planning more poker vlogs leading up to the Main Event as he brainstorms a potential cryptocurrency or comedy channel to be launched later on this year.

What’s more, Upswing Poker featured pro Ryan Fee has announced that a new Cash Game Instructor will be joining the Upswing Lab this week! You can check out the complete program along with a Timestamps Recap below.
